the lights flash on that unit. The lights will stop flashing when you click ‘finished’ or 5 minutes have elapsed.

2.5.6 Optimizing the system for networked use

TalkSwitch has been designed to operate optimally when in a networked state. Here are a few items that have been designed for better network use:

Configuration Settings:

All units are ‘cloned’ with identical settings. In the event that a unit has ‘disappeared’ off the network (adapter unplugged, LAN connection disconnected, LAN failure etc.), the system can still handle the calls, since it retains the configuration settings of the ‘missing’ unit. In the event an extension or voice mailbox cannot be reached, the caller will hear the following system prompt: “The extension you are trying to reach is currently unavailable, please try again later.”

Outgoing Line Hunt Groups

By default, when 2 or more units are on a LAN, the system tries placing calls out on the same TalkSwitch unit the call originates from. This avoids using a line across the LAN on another unit, which helps to minimize the LAN traffic and optimizes the opportunity for all inbound calls to connect across the LAN if required.

Auto Attendants

There are a total of 9 Auto Attendants that are shared by all units on the LAN. When an Auto Attendant is recorded on any unit, it is then automatically copied to all other units on the LAN. This design minimizes LAN traffic and also provides functionality back-up in case a unit or units have ‘disappeared’ off the network (adapter unplugged, LAN connection disconnected, LAN failure etc.). In this event, all units can still answer inbound calls with the same Auto Attendant messages).

Voicemail

All Local Extension and Remote Extension Voicemail data is stored on the unit where the extensions normally reside. For example, all greetings, directory names and voicemail messages for extensions 121-128, 221-228 and mailboxes 420-429 are stored on the TalkSwitch with Unit ID 2. If a unit is completely filled with voicemail messages, new messages will not be stored on other units. The system will simply not accept anymore messages for mailboxes belonging to that unit. If you need more memory, TalkSwitch Memory Cards can be purchased from your reseller. You can also use the Voicemail Memory Manager to view the memory usage of each TalkSwitch unit and each mailbox.
